Arkansas Journalism.

The Pexarkana Independent, quot
ing the Montecellonian's statement
that Arkansas has shown greater pro-
gress in the printing Of papers with
in the last few years thsn any other
State, SAYS with much force:
The Arkansas papers with bur a
very few exceptions are indeed cred
table to journalism, and will com
pare most favorably with those of
any State in the Union.
And to what Bro. Gotham has said,
we desire to add, in advance of the
gathering of the Arkansas Press AS
sociation in Texarkana next May,
that the personnel of the newspaper
gang in the State is also of the high
est type, for besides being a fine
looking body of men, they are gen.
tlemen, and gentlemen Of ability too,
aud we are proud to state that they
are also men of high moral standing,
as will be fully proven when we
state that we can not remember see
ing an intoxicated editor at meet
ing of the State Press Association
for 10, these many years. They are
sober, Intelligent honorable and
courteous and we feel proud that we
are member Of our State Associa.
ton, and that we have for brethren
and friends such gentlemen.
And most truly can we say that it
will afford us not only the greatest
pleasure, but the highest honor to
introduce the members of the Ark
ansas Press Association to the clti-
zcns of Texarkana next May, and we
90 not know of single member that
we will hesitate to Introduce and
commend to our friends at home, as
full hedged gentleman i'll every
sense of the term, worthy to enter
the parlors with the wives and daugh.
tiers Of our people.
Truly, and indeed are we proud OF
the Arkansas newspapers, and of the
newspaper "gang" of the State.

hibits of Arkansas have been return
ed to her proud people decorated
with ribbons and covered with med
ais. So short has been the time
since Ark kansas was unknown, except
as a name for all that was bad and
undesirable, that there is little won-

"And now we are told that it has
recently been discovered that a pow
erful poison known as tyrotoxioon
develops in milk. 1t probably takes
effect in about seventy years after
entering the system, and that ac-
counts for the duration of human
life being fixed at three score and
ten-the mothers milk kills the
child in about that length of time.
So much for our knowledge of toxi-
cology."-Ex.
This is no new discovery. Years
ago, the pioneers of Kentucky find
ing that the rich and luxuriant blue
grass pastures of that State furnish
ed lacteal fluid that conduced to ex-
treme longevity and excessive prop
agation, and becoming alarmed, lest
there would soon be no room for
their rapidly increasing progeny, set
to work to counterfeit this wonder
full effect of the blue grass pastures.
The result was a decoction known
to this day as "Kaintuc Whiskey,"
which they have since been feeding
to their children and the children OF
adjoining states out of black bottles.
By this simple discovery, the aver
age duration of human fife has been
reduced from three score and ten to
about thirty-fve or forty years, and
rapidly decreasing. So much for our
knowledge of whiskeyology.

Big LAKE ISLAND, Aug, 20, '87

Big LAKE ISLAND, Aug. 20, 'S7.
To THE OscKoLA TIMES: Rev.
Mr.. Newton, of Buffalo Island, be-
ing properly authorized by the Ag-
ricultural State Wheel has to-day
organized a Subordinate Wheel in
our neighborhood with eighteen good
working members with a prospect
of getting a large Wheel here. The
laboring men are beginning to look
after their own interests all over the
State; they are organizing all over
the United States, doing away with
the credit system that is building up
monopol'es and impoverishing the
masses throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. First, it cre-
stes the mortgage system on our
growing crops; men fail to pay up,
then the stock is mortgaged; again
failing to pay, the little farm is mort
gagged and a foreclosure is made,
and then the farmer becomes the
tenant on his former possessions, and
is made subservicnt to the will and
pleasure of his landlord and quasi
master. These are the links that
the credit system is forging to bind
YOU in slavery. Now is the time to
throw off this yoke! meet and organ
ize; consult each others interest, and
see how the Wheelers are getting
along. Citizens Of Mississippi coun-
ty, you can be organized at any time
by consulting Mr.. Newton, Of Buff
falo Island. Respectfully,
Is. F. BoLLINGRR.

alt will be time enough for the
Republican organs to complain about
Southern prejudices against the me-
gro when they have succeeded in
reforming the North in this particu-
lar. There can be no doubt that the
North is missionary ground SC far
as prejudice against the negroes Is
concerned. Our own personal OBJ
servation leads us to believe that the
negroes at the North are treated
with far less consideration by the
general public than the negroes OF
the South Atlanta Constellation.

The Boat Club.

Ameeting of the directors of the Coun-

last evening at "rhe Manhattan"
1t was decided to go ahead with the
building of the boat house, the cont ract
for which will be let on Thursday. The
location decided upon is at Marks Land
ing on Lake Manawa, and work will be
RI pidly pushed to completion.
A number of shells have been ordered
in addition to those already here. There
will be some six or seven private single
sculls.
The rowing association is growing in
size rapidly and some fine sport is an
ticipated this coming season on the lake.
The oarsmen hope to meet the members
OF the Omaha Rowing association in sew
eral friendly contests.
Subscriptions for stock are open, and
all those who wish to join are requested
TO send their applications to either Ernest

Improving Mannwa.

The improvements about Lake Manawa
have already commenced. Ine beach,
which has again been leased by Odell
Bros. Il Co., is being put IN better
condition than ever. The lack of shade
is being remedied by the transplantng
of large trees, so that groves of consider
able magnitude are being arranged as if
by magic Back from the beach for a
considerable distance the land is being
graded Off New and larger buildings
are to be put up. A. Louie is planning
on having regular restaurant building,
with permanent arrangements for sup
plying rs enjoyable meals as can be
served at his uptown restaurant.
1t is confidently predicted that the rush
for this popular resort will be greater
than ever this summer. The motor rail
way is practically assured. The contract
will doubtless be signed this week, and
then work will commence at once. The
motor line will cost $4,000. With this,
and with easy communication with
Omaha, there will be rush from that
city during the heated term. Last sea-
son demonstrated the desirabiity of the
place, and there were throngs of people
there all the time. With the increased
accommodations the crowd will be three
times us gvcat this season.

such process rs might issue from his

EHcCtS Oh tne Kansas frOnlDltOry Law
The new law passed by the late Kan
sas legislature, which is intended rs a
backbone to the present prohibitory law,
is playing havoc with the liquor trade In
Kansas. The St Joseph wholesale deal
err. complain OF falling Off in trade, and
Il firm that is known, one of the largest
IN the city, has taken four Of its Kansas
men off the road. In Kansas City, it is
understood, the result of the law is the
same, the Kansas trade being virtually
killed.
The law makes it necessary for a man
desiring to open n drug store to have
twenty-five women signers to the petl-
ton. and any person who buys liquor
must go before a notary public and make
affidavit rs to what use he will make Of
it. and that it is not intended to be drank
as a beverage.
St. Joseph's wholesale liquor dealers
have in all taken about fifteen men off
the road as a result of this amendment Of
the laws.

A New City Hall.

The project for a new city hall has been
lying dormant of late, but 1t is now to be
revived. 1t is probable chat the city
will at once take the necessary prelimi-
nary steps of locating a site and prepar-
ing plans. Mayor Groneweg and others
are in favor of locating the new building
near the site of the present one. 1t is
proposed to condemn property enough
on Main street to secure for the city the
triangular piece OF ground, whose angle
is the intersection of Main and Bryant
streets. Several other streets center
there also, SO that this site can easily be
reached from various directions. 1t IS
suggested that there be in connection n
with the new city hall market place,
ard that the improvements run back
across the creek. which can be bridged.
The plan is looked upon with favor by
many, and preliminary moves may be
expected at an early date. 1t is urged
that there should be no delay ia the con-
demnlng of the necessary ground, as the
property will be more valuable, rather
than less, and the city can get it cheaper
now than ever again.
